How to Set Up Yahoo Calendar iCal Sync

This article explains how to set up Yahoo Calendar iCal sync so that you can share your calendar events with others.

How to Find the Yahoo Calendar iCal Address

Follow these steps to create a link to your Yahoo Calendar so that others can see all your calendar events:

1. Select the Calendar icon in the upper-right corner of Yahoo Mail. Your calendar page opens in a new tab.

   If the calendar doesn't open in a separate tab, select Calendar full view.

   

2. Under My Calendars in the left sidebar, select the down-arrow next to your calendar's name and choose Edit Calendar from the drop-down menu.

   To create and share a new calendar, go to Actions > Create New Calendar.

   

3. Select Get shareable link and copy the URL that appears under the To view in a browser (HTML) section.

   If you want to share an ICS file that others can import into their calendar app, copy and share the URL under the To import into a Calendar app (ICS) section.

   

4. Select Save.

5. Share the URL with others. They can monitor your new and existing calendar events to keep tabs on your schedule.

What Is a Yahoo iCal File?

You can share Yahoo calendar events with anyone through what's called an iCalendar (iCal) file. These calendar files might have the ICAL or ICALENDAR file extension, but they normally end in ICS.

After you make a Yahoo calendar, you can let anyone view the events and import the ICS file into their calendar program or mobile app. This feature is great if you have a work or personal calendar that you want co-workers, friends, or family to see when you make changes.

Stop Sharing a Yahoo Calendar ICS File

If you decide to stop sharing these events, go back to the Edit Calendar screen and choose the Reset link icon next to the URLs. Selecting the Reset link option makes a new calendar URL and deactivates the old one.
